Today's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai starts with Kabir getting cornered by the ladies of the house. Kabir gets violent as he breaks a glass bottle and holds it at them. Naira (Shivangi Joshi)and the ladies then throw chilly powder at him. Everyone hits him one by one. Swarna says that she considered him like her own son as he was her son's friend. Keerti gets furious as she cannot control herself while she remembers her miscarriage because of Kabir. Dadi warns Kabir never to look at her bahu again. Naira too remembers how they lost Keerti's child.

The men of the house with Kartik(Mohsin Khan) arrive at the gates and rush in to see Naira and the ladies drag a bound Kabir outside. They all accompanied by many other women and men walk the streets dragging Kabir ans each one is lost in their own thought about how women today are challenged. Naira thinks about what these boys think about women and how they think they have a right to like and use any girl of their liking even if she likes it or not. Keerti thinks about how even when women are not at fault she is blamed for everything wrong that happens to her, from her way of dressing to her way of social life everything is questioned while the real culprits go free.

Dadi thinks how from a 6month old child to a 60years old women no one is safe today. Devyani thinks why it is women who are shown their limits always and asked to be careful, Swarna too wonders why it is that we lock up the girls at home and ask them not to step out at odd times or with friends. They walk into the police station and throw Kabir to the police and Naira asks the police to make sure that Kabir gets punished well so a message is given out to the society that if this gets repeated then consequences will be more dire as women today are not weak and can fight for themselves. Later at the Goenka house they cut cake as they listen to the news. They know that a message has been imparted to the society loud and clear. The men gift their ladies a bravery badge each. Naksh says that they have made a statement today and made it known that the women do not need men to protect them, the men are there with them by their choice not out of any compulsion. Later Kartik has a private romantic celebration for Naira in their room.
